Gymnastic Tournament
With more than 600 men stu-
dents using it daily for physical
recreation, the Intramural Sports
building, opened last fall for the
first time, has achieved with a
short period a significant part in
the educational system of the Uni-
versity. Nearly 2000 students have
individual lockers in the building,
and an estimated 1000 in addition
to these have used it slightly from
time to time, it is indicated by re-
cent reports from the Intramural
department which has charge of
the building.
In addition. to offering the stu-
dents a large gymnasium with
four basketball courts, four tennis
courts and volley ball courts, a
wrestling and boxing room, a
swimming pool, and several hand-
ball and squash courts, the intra-
mural department has arranged
numerous tournaments for com-
petition among campus groups,
and' classes of instructions in six
sports. -
Winter Sports Stressed
Tournaments are now being
held in foul shooting, handball
tennis, basketball, squash, bowl-
ing, hockey, and volleyball. The
foul shooting and volleyball are
conducted on a basis of frat-
ernity competition. Hockey is for
independently organized sextets,
and the matches are played
at the coliseum. Basketball and
handball are being conducted for
fraternity, non-fraternity, and
faculty groups. There are doubles
and singles in the handball com-
petition, and also a novice tour-
nament. Tennis is for individuals,

teams.
Most of these tournaments are
winter sports, and when these are
finished the intramural depart-
ient contemplates the competi-
tion in the spring sports, both in-
side the Intramural sports build-
ing and outside. At the present a
